Even if I have gold I don’t pay any of my 4 subs with gold. I love to pile up my gold like a greedy goblin and spend it on changing looks.
Every toon I create and decide to lvl I buy token for it, and even the price is up they sell like crazy.
Only once in my WoW gaming career I actually went out of my way to grind alchemy during BFA to get some gold because I had to say few days to change my payment method and region.
